Lot # 1804: 1930s-2010s Presidential Campaign Pin Hoard (850+)

From the savage wilds of the campaign trail, comes this 1930s-2010s presidential campaign pin hoard (850+). Let’s face it, the path to election is full of perils, pitfalls and magnified examination, so love them, or hate them, but salute these hopefuls who took up the daunting challenge to serve in office at the highest national level. This heaping hoard is brimming with successful presidential candidates, and those who finished as also-rans, some more than once. Standouts are high profile presidents, such as Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, and Bill Clinton, and those who failed in their bids to occupy the Oval Office, with John Glenn, Ross Perot, Jesse Jackson, Barry Goldwater, Adlai Stevenson, and Hubert H. Humphrey. Condition is generally satisfying, ranging (90% EX to MT, 10% lesser).
